Just when it seemed like you couldn’t get any more bang for your buck out of Mount Bohemia’s $99 season pass, the Upper Peninsula ski area found a way to add skiing on the other side of the planet
Mount Bohemia announced Friday that it has reached a partnership with Tūroa Ski Area in New Zealand, giving Bohemia season passholders two free days at Tūroa during the 2027 Southern Hemisphere ski season.
In other words, your $99 Michigan season pass can now get you on the lifts at a ski area on an active volcano in New Zealand.
Not bad too shabby.
Two Free Days at Tūroa
Tūroa sits on the southwestern side of Mount Ruapehu on New Zealand’s North Island and is a very different mountain from Bohemia.
The ski area offers roughly 1,235 acres of terrain, four chairlifts and about 2,369 feet of vertical. Tūroa bills that as the largest vertical descent in Australasia.
The terrain is spread across the open volcanic slopes of Mount Ruapehu, with wide runs, natural halfpipes and off-trail skiing above the treeline.
Tūroa typically operates from June into October, meaning the two complimentary days give Bohemia passholders a chance to extend their skiing deep into the North American summer.
The $99 Pass Keeps Getting Better
Mount Bohemia has spent years turning its ultra-cheap season pass into something much bigger than access to one mountain in Michigan.
The resort has steadily added reciprocal skiing at independent mountains around North America, including a recent partnership with Loveland Ski Area. Now the partner list reaches New Zealand.
That’s especially impressive considering the price. Mount Bohemia says its annual $99 season pass sale begins Nov. 25.
The pass already makes sense for anyone planning to spend time in the Upper Peninsula. Toss in free days at partner mountains around North America and now two days at one of New Zealand’s largest ski areas, and the value is hard to argue against.
A $99 season pass that can take you from Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula to the slopes of Mount Ruapehu is exactly the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from Mount Bohemia. Nice work.
